Agree.

Teams like wire and Wigan will find ways to score against us though. We need to be more of a threat going forward

We have played them both recently and they didn't,we created 3 great scores against Wire and they scored from a knock on 2 yds out and a charge down so your point is moot,isn't it about the balance of defence and attack and out scoring your opponents and we seem to be doing just fine at the moment.

The Black & Whites take on the Giants at the John Smith’s Stadium on Thursday (30th June), kick-off 8pm.

Radford has made three changes to the side that beat Catalans Dragons in the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Quarter-Final last week.

Captain Gareth Ellis, full-back Jamie Shaul and prop forward Liam Watts miss out through injury.

Back-rower Dean Hadley returns to the squad alongside outside back Curtis Naughton. 20 year-old Jansin Turgut is also in the squad. All three impressed for the reserves on the weekend.

id give Turgut a go - been outstanding for the reserves so give him a go in the 2nd Row

So Naughton fb, Micheals, Yeamo,Fonua,Talanoa,Carlos,Sneyd, Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Mini, Manu,Hadley,Green,Pritchard,Thompson, Washbrook.

I think they may be a slight suprise and we will see Carlos at FB and Pryce back to halfback

Based on?

Not saying it wouldnt be a good move - in fact, i would like to see it. Just wondered if you had heard something

Nothing really, just a hunch.

Are we just assuming the short turnaround and slight niggles are the reason these 3 are out? I know Ellis came off very late on with a bang on the head.

Had a groin strain the last few weeks.

I'd give Yeamo a rest. He will be needed for the bigger games later in the season and a two week rest may well do his body the world of good.
Carlos in his place and Pryce slotting straight back in at 6.
Thompson in for Watts and Hadley in for Ellis.
Noggers to full back.
Like for like in most departments and a team more than capable of giving Huddersfield a run for their money.
All the ones coming in have points to prove in order to remain in the team going into July and cup semi month.
